Your doctor might advise taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) corticosteroid therapy to reduce inflammation.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a BUN Test (Blood Urea Nitrogen) Test or Take a HSV Test (Herpes Simplex Virus) Test

Will a fever between 98 and 99.8 be considered a fever? One of our friends has had this for 5 months and 20 days. His blood test report shows Hb 13.2 percent, RBC 5 million, WBC 10,600, platelet 2.22 lakhs, and ESR 25. Could this lead to cancer?

Hello. I checked my mother blood. My mother is having pain in all her muscles. Her ESR blood report is 80 mm. Can you please tell me what the problem is?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi doctors, I did my regular blood report which came normal, but my ESR was 25 mm. I do not have any symptoms nor have I had any infection recently. Why is it high if the normal range is 0 to 15? Please suggest. Is it too high? I am worried.
